Week 12 Blog

An old well-dressed man walks into an elevator and another young “jockey” woman comes and starts playing music to obviously her taste. The old man is annoyed by the music and starts to play his older music louder than the woman’s. After that another woman walks in and looks and listens to the other woman and man and starts playing her own music. The screen goes black and even more people are playing music and looking differently from each other, they all stop when a African American man walks in with a big juke box, no one knows what he is going to play until he starts playing elevator music, which I think all the other people weren’t expecting him to play the elevator music people seem to hate.
The author’s purpose was to show you that stereotypes aren’t always the way to look at someone knew like judging someone that walks into an elevator. I think that because everyone can be judged by what they look like or their age. For example, if you see an old person you don’t expect them to blare Kodak or Drake. It just isn’t expected of us to not judge someone by how they look.

I would think that the attended audience is really whoever wants to listen about the stereotypes we naturally use and do on an everyday basis. I think this just by the way the people look at each other and look u and down at each other. Three ways that his video can teach the view something about community, is first that everybody in a community is different, no one is the same. Secondly, you can’t always judge people by the way people dress or what kind of music someone likes. Lastly everybody can have something in common, like when the guy comes in with the big juke box and just plays elevator music and everybody listens.
